After Catching Fire newbie Sam Claflin thanked the fans -- which he called "the tributes" -- as well as the cast and crew, male lead Josh Hutcherson took the opportunity to acknowledge Hoffman.

"I know that if Phillip were here, he would think this was really cool," he said of the golden popcorn prize, "and to have him in our movies was one of the coolest things in the world. He's one of the actors I've looked up to my entire life, and we think about him every day on set. Wherever he is, this definitely goes out to him."
